October 21, 200520 yr i was listening today and before the journey talk, dan patrick claimed that he was this close to picking the white sox. I don't know how this could be possible when i'm pretty sure that he guessed that the sox were going to finish third in the division. you can tell he hates the sox.. he even said that no one picked the sox this year.. not even the fans.. and thats bulls***.. then he blames the torri hunter injury, which is bulls*** we were f***n them up anyway.. i hope the sox win it and ozzie can shove it in his face.
October 21, 200520 yr he was joking around when he said he was close to picking the sox. That whole segment was a joke, IMO
October 21, 200520 yr You know what I hope: one day posters will stop making thread, after thread, after thread, after thread on how the Sox deserve more of the national spotlight, Chicago fandom, attendance, respect, etc. Yeah, that would be greattttttttttttt.
October 21, 200520 yr I'll never understand why some Sox fans are so f***ing obsessed with the media and the "lack of respect" that they show towards the Sox. I personally don't give a s*** what Dan Patrick says, he is noone, I have no interest in his opinion. Some people should just try to enjoy this while it lasts instead of getting upset everytime they hear something on the radio that could be construed as a slam towards the Sox. We're in the f***ing World Series, enjoy it.
October 21, 200520 yr You want respect? Win your division 14 years in a row. Win a WS every now and then. How much respect do you get when you have the same number of Championships as the Florida Marlins?

When some of the media/experts/ect do start giving the Sox some love, the same people start complaining that they're just jumping on the bandwagon.

Generations of Sox fans have grown up thinking that's how to be a Sox fan. Walk around with the biggest chip on your shoulder.
October 21, 200520 yr President Bush hates the Sox. He's the reason we almost started to choke. Bastard.
October 21, 200520 yr I have no problem with bashing the national media for being ignoramus'. It's just with Mariotti around here, it's hard to find the time. Whats wrong with wanting a little respect? I mean, I just read this terrible, poorly researched article by Skip Bayless (who is a complete idiot, I hardly ever bother to read him) and it makes me want to puke all over him. http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/page2/story...=bayless/051020 The article says that Ozzie found "Bobby Jenks, who was the closer he lacked." Um right, I'm pretty sure Hermie was on the team at that point. He could be referring to Hermie's bad back, but I doubt it. His back was only an issue for 2 weeks or so, and by that time Ozzie seemed to have gone to closer by committee, then finally Jenks. He goes on to say that the turnaround to World Series after the near collapse was "the most shockingly unexpected 180-degree turn I can remember in sports." Perhaps he didn't watch Red Sox/Yankees last year? I think we have the right as fans to call the media out when they are writing or talking out their ass.

October 21, 200520 yr I thnk part of the reason many Sox fans bemoan the lack of national attention and such is that if we DID have it, it would make it easier to say you are a White Sox fan when you are out of the area. When people find out you are from Chicago, if the topic turns to baseball, they always ask if you are a Cubs fan. Cab drivers who can barely speak english know enough to ask if you are a Cubs fan. Tell them that no, you like the REAL baseball team in Chicago, the White Sox, and usually the conversation stops there. It would be nice if for once they assumed you were a Sox fan.
October 21, 200520 yr Dan Patrick has been flip-flopping teams all season long. Who cares what he thinks?
October 21, 200520 yr Patrick is a pompous ass i hate his boring east coast radio show and he can shove phl the show killer up his ass. :finger DP
October 21, 200520 yr He's a sycophantic suit that lives in the shadow of and rides the coattails of Keith Olbermann.
October 21, 200520 yr Does anyone here think that prick Erik Kuselias will live up to his word if the Sox win the WS?
